Rockies fan from the start. Like the players, my days of baseball started in my hometown with the rookie league now known as the Idaho Falls Chuckars, farm team for the Royals. Many a day was spent sitting on the left field wall waiting for a home run or working the concessions hawking hot dogs, pop corn, or sodas. It kept me in spending money over the summer and I got to see a lot of baseball.

I moved up to AAA when I moved to Colorado Springs and the return of the Sky Sox, then with the Cleveland Indians. I could not have been happier when Colorado got their major league team and the bonus was having the AAA team right here in Colorado Springs. Purple Jersey Girl and I attend as many Rockies games as possible and once in a while we still go to watch the Sky Sox.

My avatar is Boomer Platobenala. Feared second baseman from MLB2K11. His name is brought up in a lot of trade talks.
